SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE

Justice

Pauline McNeill (Glasgow Kelvin) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive whether the reports by Sir Anthony Campbell and Dr Raj Jandoo on the Chhokar case have yet been completed.

Colin Boyd QC: I have now received Sir Anthony Campbell's report of his inquiry into the decision-making process in this case. The report has been sent for translation. Dr Jandoo's report is awaited but I understand that I can expect to receive it in August. That report will also require to be prepared for publication. I intend to present both reports to the Parliament as soon as possible after the summer recess.
